Yes, but you cannot, grammatically use the word 'for' to end a sentence. THAT'S why Missy and Glenn couldn't understand the phrasing of the question; they were grammatically illiterate.
The feud question was so hard to understand that Richard almost had a hard time to explain the question to the second kid. Whoever wrote up that question didn't think that the contenstents couldn't understand what they were asking.
yea, it was a badly worded question (particularly for fast money when you can't afford to lose a single second).. . the fact that BOTH kids got stuck there proved it.
I'm surprised it was as long as it was, they're usually that short, because they only have 20 or 25 seconds to answer, and it takes time reading the question, so they try to shorten it.
1:06 Richard: The longest you've ever watched television non-stop...four hours. Which would account for some of the other answers we got. Survey said... Girl: WUT
yes, after the first year or so richard began occasionally 'bending' the rules (giving elderly/younger contestants a few extra seconds to think in the family rounds, letting them answer after the buzzer in fast money, etc).. . add the fact that this was a celebrity episode (which always means they're playing for charity) and there was no way he was going to send these kids back to their charities empty handed because of a badly worded question..
I think Dawson & Combs were by far the best hosts of this show....Dawson so smooth & warm. Combs so funny & exciting. Both men endearing in their own way. The hosts since don't really seem to measure up for some reason.
John O'Hurley fit the show well. Louie, great comedian, but Feud wasn't the job for him. Karn always did corny jokes, but corny don't cut it on Family Feud, good host otherwise. As for Steve...replace him already, Fremantle! Agreed about Richard and Ray.
I took me several times myself to even understand what Richard was saying about the key question but thats coming from a viewer I didnt have Richard right be side me saying it to my ear. The way it was worded is what was confusing
They expect the contestants to come up with answers in seconds while they have months to make the questions and they couldn't even do that right. Name something to which you lose your key? Huh?
Name something to which you often loose your key? -- I often loose my key to a mugger -- I often loose my key to a poker game -- I often loose my key to understanding the question -- I often loose my key to... really dumb way to phrase a question.
msolec2000 Hey, why you being such a stickler..I was happy with calling the whole thing off... IF I HEAR JUST ONE MORE thing about my typo, I will remove the oo's and put 'u' in its place. Don't tempt me, I am mad enough to do it!
@@claritycentral yea and the girl is missy gold (tracey gold's sister).. . this was obviously some celebrity episode for charity, which is no doubt why richard was DETERMINED to drag a 'key' answer out of them if it took all g0dd@m3d day!🧐
The question implies that some keys are lost more often then others. I would have wrote the question to read "Name something that requires a key to use"
He was more about giving people money than anything else, rumor has it when they were looking for a daytime host to replace Sajak on Wheel of Fortune, he turned it down because he wanted the Bankrupt space off the wheel!
yea, this was the golden age of game shows and 'feud' was #1.. . so he had the clout to bend production to his will for the families.. . the fading popularity of game shows over the years (relatively speaking) and tv in general, is probably the why you don't see this anymore (and most likely never will again).. . no single host has the clout that dawson did back in the day.
Funny things happen when the pressure is on. They had 15 and 20 seconds respectively to answer 5 questions (time doesn't stop for the host to read each question either) and they knew that everything was going to be broadcast on television. It's an easy question at home, where you have nothing to lose or gain, but it's a different story when you're actually on the spot.
"Ending a sentence in a preposition is something up with which I will not put." -Attributed to Winston Churchill Grammatically, the way the question was phrased is correct, but yeah...probably need to sacrifice grammar for understandability there.
No, it was Dawson being Dawson, Harvey wouldn't have had them give them the last ones, nor stopped the clock, that idiot would start laughing, run the clock out, and they'd lose. He's a horrible host; those who love him are just idiots.
"Something to which you often lose a key." The question is confusing because he's asking for the identity of the object that the key serves. Eg., you lose a key to a car, to a house, etc. But the question sounds like it means: what causes the loss, as in "I lost the football game to the other team."
Richard would tend to ignore the clock if a celebrity ran out of time in Fast Money, to ensure their charity had a good chance of winning as much $$$ as possible.
This is Celebrity Family Feud. The girl is Missy Gold, from "Growing Pains" sitcom, and the guy is from the show "One Day At A Time". Check It Out! Ciao!!!
Something to which you often lose your key. The first thing that comes to mind is what thing might cause you to lose your key. For example , you could say i lost my key to the gutters. Meaning it fell into the gutters. If we change it a bit, it's more clear why one would think that. As a question like "Someone who you often lose to" is much more common. So our brains automatically try to answer a question we don't know using something that familiar to us.
The question was posed in the passive voice. It takes our brain a while to understand it. That's why we learn in school to use the active voice in sentences instead.
I don't blame the kids at all. Something to which you often lose your key wouldn't be a door. I have worked in an apartment building where people sometimes 'left' their keys in the door, but they didn't realize it was gone. If they did and didn't look in the door, they'd have bigger issues.
That really is a terrible question. It doesn't really make sense. "Something to which you lose your key"? That could have easily been avoided with "Something for which you need a key". Their phrasing was incredibly confusing. The "lose your key" thing isn't even a significant part of the question, so then you're like, what?
"something to which you often lose your key." still makes no sense, and to mr. dawson's credit he did give them a fair chance at it and they won the money.
First and foremost, the statement went: "NAME something to which you often lose your key." Say it out loud again, and consider your past grammar lessons. An improper form of this sentence (that you'd probably understand more easily) would go: "Name something that you lose your key for." Being that one should never end a sentence with a preposition, the proper way to say it would be the first statement. NAME SOMETHING TO WHICH YOU OFTEN LOSE YOUR KEY. This is first grade English.
Yeah that question was confusing....I was like "HUH"???? Hilarious Clip though... I find that people were more prone to winning this show in the 70's and 80's versus today.
@SpinozasPsyche "Name something to which you might lose your key." That is not poorly worded. It is PERFECTLY worded. It's just that we are mostly a nation of morons, and hardly anybody has any clue as to what good grammar and syntax are anymore!! And this was back in about 1985-it's gotten even worse since! Lord help us.
Name a type of key that you often lose; Name the purpose for a key that you often lose ... Name something to which you often lose your key or something for which you often lose your key would indeed be the reason why the key is lost, not the purpose.
Longest you’ve ever watched television non stop……… 10 days! Month with the best weather……Valentine’s Day Something to which you often lose your keys…… your brain Toughest age for teenagers….. 80 A part of the tree…… The long part
"Something" refers to the object that the key unlocks, not the object in question; "to which" implies ownership between the locked object and the key which locks and unlocks said object. There is nothing about what happens to the object. The object is barely even relevant; what matters is the object's key, and losing said key, not losing the object.
Missy Gold, Glenn Scarpelli...I love this video and got a blast watching this as I love Richard Dawson and his Fast Money rounds. But the video quality is frustrating as I can't make out one other familiar face. According to IMDb.com this is the Super Teens show and other 'Super Teens' are Facts of Life Tootie, Messy Marvin, a Penny Baker who went on to Playboy, the mother of Jason Voorhees who was about 60 when this was aired....I'm confused. A 60-year old Super Teen aside I'm now curious who the other four are.
No it wasn't. The question was phrased in proper English (i.e., grammatically correct.) Right -- Something to which you often lose your keys? Wrong -- Something you often loose your keys for?
The blond is Missy Gold, sister of Tracy Gold - she starred in the show 'Benson'. I can't remember the name of the other kid. And no, I'm not ashamed that I know this. ;) lol
The girl is Missy Gold from BENSON with Robert Guillaume, and James Noble. James Noble played the part of the Governor of California and he was her father in the show. There was also Inga Swenson who played the housekeeper (she and Benson hated each other). She had a german accent.
"Name something you need a key for."
Simple, to the point, and nothing about losing it! Wow!
Well stated
padlock. people lose house and car keys more
Um I don't understand the question. 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, but you cannot, grammatically use the word 'for' to end a sentence. THAT'S why Missy and Glenn couldn't understand the phrasing of the question; they were grammatically illiterate.

Yup. I too stalled on that question. 🤓

A poorly worded question. "A key you sometimes lose," would make better sense.
i understand easily
Amy Schumer and Robbie Hart pulled it off!
'A type of key you often lose.' would have been a better question.
No, because then we would have a blooper of them saying "a metal key".
True
There you go! THAT'S how the question should've been worded!
I'm surprised it was as long as it was, they're usually that short, because they only have 20 or 25 seconds to answer, and it takes time reading the question, so they try to shorten it.
The writer of that question ended up on Match Game.
"Name a kind of key that you often lose" might be clearer.
LOVE Richard's sarcasm.
That seems odd to me. All my keys are on the same ring. So if I lose one I must lose them all equally.
Good point.
I lost my keys just hearing that damn question.
"Name a key that is often lost?"
It was a poorly written question.
antonzap
Name a key you often lose would be better
especially since it's timed, and it takes time to read the question, so you want to shorten it as much as possible anyway.

Richard: The longest you've ever watched television non-stop...four hours. Which would account for some of the other answers we got. Survey said...

the wording of the question was totally confusing , most people would have gotten thrown off by it too
They should have just asked "something to which you often lose your key to" and they would have understood it better.
too long, this is the final, you only get 20 or 25 seconds depending on the turn, needs to be shorter like "A key you often lose".
Kidding you are.
Could you repeat the question?
I’d have to say Dawson helped both contestants to give decent answers and win.

It really is kinda oddly said. It sounds like you lose your keys to something, like losing a card game pot to an opponent.

That key question was bullshit. That would throw off anyone.
not really she's dumber than dirt
Yeah, they're both dumber than dirt
It’s a bad question because “losing” has nothing to do with it.
“Name something you use a key for.”
Who says "something to which you often lose your keys?"
How about "Where might you lose your key?"
You have just asked a totally different question.
There was something oddly wrong with the question if both players had difficultly understanding it.
Month with the best weather. You said, "what's up doc?" I can't...
The confusion was because he has a weak "with". Little emphasis and a pause would make easy sense of it.
Should have made it simple: Name something that requires a key.
I don't blame the kids at all. Something to which you often lose your key wouldn't be a door. I have worked in an apartment building where people sometimes 'left' their keys in the door, but they didn't realize it was gone. If they did and didn't look in the door, they'd have bigger issues.

Languages without declension can't handle that question right. In Latin, Greek, Russian or Sanskrit, there's no difficulty.
The word "key" is the direct object in the sentence and is at the end of the question. Should be near the beginning.
Glenn Scarpelli also starred in Grease 2 with Michelle Pfeiffer!
Awkwardly constructed question, writers.
I agree. I teach English, and this is not a difficult question to understand.
